I came across this incredible video on an internet forum a few days ago. Watching it gave me goosebumps (the good kind). I thought our Medhavis would like to see it too...Enjoy!
A little bit about Medical Qigong:
"Qi" (pronounced chee), means air, breath of life, or vital energy that flows through all things in the universe.
"Gong" (pronounced gung, as in lung) means the skill of working with, or cultivating, self-discipline and achievement.
Together, Qigong means the skill of cultivating vital energy,
or the ability to work with the electromagnetic energy of the
body.
Qigong is a mind-body practice that improves one's mental and physical health by integrating postures, movement, breathing techniques, and focused intention.
The body is enveloped by Qi or electromagnetic currents, affecting both internal and external organ functions.
Medical Qigong
Medical Qigong therapy is the eldest therapeutic modality of Chinese medicine. It is a comprehensive system of health care addressing the root cause of symptoms or disease, and treats the client as a whole.
The practitioner, drawing upon their ability to sense and manipulate energy developed through dedicated study and self-cultivation, uses qi emission and/or teaches medical qigong exercises and meditations based upon a differential diagnosis rooted in Chinese medical theory to restore health and wellness.
Practiced as an excellent adjunct to Western medicine, Chinese medicine may successfully treat conditions which Western medicine finds resistant or ambiguous. (more)

Not 'incredible' though, for followers and practitioners of Tai chi like you.
The entire history of qi gong, not only from a healing viewpoint, seems to have been covered in this rather long wikipedia account http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qigong
The account shows different kinds of bias, of course, and is tentative at times, but does cover a lot of information.
Warm regards. Partha.

Qigong seems to be manipulation of prana shakti. Reiki also seems to be similar. The only question I have
is whether Qi is really electromagnetic in nature or is prana shakti.
